We signed Gordon for 45m. We wouldn't sell Gordon for less than 70 now. If Gordon or Barnes put in Mbeumo numbers, they'd be worth 100m. Absolutely incredible how many people don't realise how good Mbeumo actually is. For 60m we not only have an elite RW but we'd have one helluva back up striker for when Isak needs a rest.

Flekken is going to leverkusen. He's been really good this season

That's a good upgrade in goal for Brentford and good business with the numbers on both deals. Never been fully convinced by Flekken and Kelleher I think will come to the fore as a proper no.1.

it's the lad who was at Southampton not the tennis player.

That’s a great deal, I’d have been happy with him

My visit was that NYD when we were 1 up before Stimson put through his own goal. Think Oldham were top of the league? Really enjoyed that play off final. You would have put your house on Southend seeing that out. Football eh? A glimpse of what we're missing for the next couple of months. What a game.

With £1 burgers

I mean even Eddie who loves the guy has only used him for 75mins in total the last 20 PL games.

It’s just that we got Tonali for 55m and Isak for 63m. 60m in theory given our track record should get us that type of player. Mbuemo is a Gordon or Barnes level player so 45m max feels right. Of course sometimes you have to overpay etc but just makes you think what else would be possible for that kind of cash.

He's gonna be knackered after winning the French Open and Wimbledon.

Bring him home

I actually agree with Pilko. I just send my thing in response to the idea of Mbuemo for 60 being too much. It's 2025. Good players cost money.

Id be absolutely flabbergasted if we don't have the funds to, at least, get a quality CB and RW. Beyond that, yes we might have to start shifting a couple but we are more than capable of that.

So we’re all agreed then?

Maybe most will, not sure about that. But there certainly are those who dont need gametime to look ok, and those are the ones we need to get as squad players.

I think £60m for Mbuemo is about right, depends if we're able to balance that with the other signings we need to make from the overall budget though. No good if we still don't get a centre back or a keeper.

60m for Mbeumo is a bargain.

£60m for Mbeumo is a clear, leave and move on. Let Man Utd spend that on him.

I think most players will look bad when barely playing at all. Even Tonali looked mediocre until he got a couple of starts in a row. If Murphy had been an impact sub this season, I'm confident that we would have classed him as a Championship player right now.

They are very fortunate Howe managed to achieve what he did this season imo. Think a lot more questions would have been asked about them this summer if not.

Saw us play at Oldham a few times in the 80's and 90's, easily the coldest ground I've been to.

Don’t think he loves Jesus as much as Guehi, so probably more likely to be a bit of a knob to push the deal through.

Glad Oldham went up, they're a historic club, and have no business being in the National League, plus I have an irrational hatred of Southend because of Phil Brown

Isn’t that pretty much the case with every transfer deal
